So it's okay for Apple to have a monopoly on their OS, but we need to knee cap anyone that tries to challenge them with competing apps.

- acdha 4y agoI hope you aren't trying to say that's what I wrote? My position is that if we're doing consumer choice, we should do it all the way: iOS is required to allow other browser engines (with any security requirements applied evenly); Google is not allowed to use unrelated business units to advertise Chrome in ways which Apple, Microsoft, or Mozilla cannot; and Google is required to test their applications in other browsers and promptly fix compatibility issues which are not due to a browser not implementing an approved W3C/WHATWG standard[1]. 1. I mention “approved” because of things like the way YouTube used to be faster in Chrome because they shipped a draft of the Shadow DOM API and then took a long time updating to use the standard version which other browsers implemented, during which time those other browsers were served a slow polyfill instead.
